LED downlights and ceiling lights

At GreenIce we want more people to be able to enjoy the savings and brightness that can be achieved by using LED downlights and LED ceiling lights.

Can you regulate the intensity of the downlights?

The downlights are composed of a series of passive elements (LEDs and resistors) and an external power supply. This power supply is attached to the LED plate via a connector, therefore, you can disconnect and connect the power supply (Driver) when you want.
In most cases, the downlights come with their included power supply (driver), but this driver is not dimmable, since its power input is designed to work with a current intensity and an alternating current voltage with value Constant (usually 230v).
To make it possible for a downlight to be dimmable, it is necessary to replace its power supply with a power supply that allows variations in current intensity and voltage values in alternating current at the input source of Power.
Normally, this type of power supply is sold as an additional accessory when it comes to buying the downlight, then, when installing the downlight, it is simply replaced driver that brings by default, by the adjustable driver achieved as a product Optional.

How do you know what dimensions you have to have the downlight to be able to install in the holes I have?

The first feature that we should observe in a focus downlight are its dimensions, there are many important values, like its thickness, diameter, among others.
It is important to know the thickness of a Downlight to ensure that you can enter the separation between the ceiling and the sheets of the false ceiling.
On the other hand, sometimes we have made the holes in the false ceiling, therefore, you have to look for a downlight that has the dimensions that is adapted to the hole, the only thing to take into account in this type of case is the diameter of cut and the diameter ex of the Downlight. In other words, it is necessary to look for a downlight that has an external diameter greater than the diameter of the hole, and its cutting diameter must be less than or equal to the diameter of our hole.
